tampax pearl regular tampons questions
i am 14 (i turn 15 next month) and i just got my period this year. i always used pads but recently i have been using tampax pearl regular tampons. i have three questions:
1. is it normal to feel discomfort while inserting a tampon? i.e. a tiny bit of dull pain.
2. is it normal to feel discomfort while removing a tampon?
3. would it hurt if i used super plus tampons since i just started (and have only used) regular sized tampons?
any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much!

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
1. yes that is normal IF you just started.
2. if you feel discomfort while you take the tampon out, try leaving it in longer so that it can get soaked a little better.
3. i would advise you not to until you dont feel any discomfort anymore unless your period is extremely heavy. if its not heavy, and you leave the tampon in to long, you can get a disease-its rare, but it happens.
i really hope i helped! =]

1. Yes, its normal to feel discomfort when inserting a tampon. It is usually because the inside is dry and there isn't enough lubrication for it to slide easily in. Try putting some KY jelly on the tip, or any other water soluble lubricant. DON'T use things like baby oil or Vaseline. They can cause infections. If you absolutely have to, spit on it.
2. Yes, its normal to feel discomfort while removing a tampon. Again, it is usually because it is dry and its chaffing the vaginal wall as you're taking it out. So if you have a light period, make sure your using tampons designed for a light period, so it will be easier to take out. Again, if you absolutely have to, pee first, then take the tampon out because it becomes wet. But if you are going to pee while you're wearing a tampon, ALWAYS change it because an infection might occur.
3. If you are having a super heavy period, then it shouldn't hurt to use super plus tampons. However, if you are having a light to medium period I wouldn't recommend it.
Remember to change your tampon at least every four hours. Never leave it in for more than eight. TSS is deadly!

Well, I just turned fifteen at the end of June and I started mine last summer I think. I STILL can't use a tampon! Ugh! It just hurts to put it in! Ive used theee most microscopic ones I could find. Its just like, when you try to make it go in, it..feels...odd.
I talked to my mom about it. She suggested I use a special lubricant or something. I imagine you would use that with a plastic insertion one.
Im just not ready for tampons yet though, but it kinda sucks if you wanna get into sports. Ehh.
But you can probably find the stuff at a local drugstore.
But good luck!! [:

1. It's normal for you to feel some discomfort while inserting a tampon. This will eventually go away as you use them more and more.
2. If you feel discomfort when you're removing a tampon, it's likely that it's too dry and is causing friction. If it hurts when you remove it, try leaving the next one in for a bit longer until it hurts less on removal.
3. It could hurt more if you used larger tampons since you have just started. Also, you should use the least absorbent tampon that works for you, since leaving more absorbent tampons and leaving them in for long periods of time can lead to an increased risk of toxic shock syndrome. As long as you don't soak through the tampon in less than an hour or two, I would stick with the regular ones for at least a few more cycles, and use a pantyliner for backup if that helps you to feel more secure.

1. It is normal your first few times to feel discomfort while inserting tampons, and wearing them. This is an idication to reduce the size, and use slender, or regular.
2. At the end of your period it is normal to feel discomfort while removing a tampon because your very dry. Or atleast this happens to me.
3.I wouldn't recommend using super plus. If your worried that your going to leak through just wear a pad or panty liner while wearing a tampon. Since your just starting to use tampons I'd go for regular and if their discomfort, use slender.
While inserting prop one leg on the toilet seat, giving room to insert your tampon.
Hope I helped.

1) when you first start using them maybe but it should stop. There should be like instructions on how to insert them in the box. Make sure you're doing it right.
2) Same as one
3) It might hurt but i really would not recommend using the super plus tampons unless you absolutely have to. Like if the regular tampons get soaked too quickly. I've heard that using bigger tampons then you need can be bad for you. I don't know why but i've been told that by like 5 people so yeah.

1) It is normal to feel discomfort until you get used to it. Sometimes people misjudge where to put it in so instead of naturally gliding it in, they'll push against a wall.
2) I never felt discomfort while removing a tampon, but I suppose perhaps you could feel the friction while removing it if it's too big for you or too dry.
3) If the super plus is too big for your hymen, then yes it might hurt. But I'll tell you that I started my period a week before my 17th birthday. And it was HEAVY! I needed a super absorbent plus tampon along with the thickest pad I could find, and that's with changing the tampon every two hours! (It lighted up thankfully) But what I mean to say is that I was able to somewhat comfortably wear a super plus during my first cycle. I think you just have to get used to it!
I hope this helps!
